Why does Office language follow the Keyboard and can it be stopped

Hi
To clarify here I work for a multi-language company Office is installed in US English language packs are loaded for French, German, Czech and Japanese.
For my case I have a French Laptop but most of my communication is in English. In the office language settings everything is set to English. But the keyboard remains set in French.
Image not included because I'm not trusted yet.
When I open any Office document the proofing language will be French. In Word for instance at the bottom of the screen every new document opens with France (French).
I have tried changing this via the language preferences, by GPO and by Registry hack and nothing works. The proofing tool always defaults to the user input language defined on the OS. You can change it document by document of for PowerPoint slide by slide.
But that's not what I want. I want the spell check and grammar to check for the language I define as default.
Has anyone got any ideas.
Thanks

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your question.
As per your description, it seems you have the Detect language automatically
option turned on. This feature detects the language that you are typing in and enables the proofing tools for that language.
Please try to turn off this option and then verify result:
Open a new Word document or an email message from the Outlook client.
On the Review tab, in the Language group, click
Language.
Click Set Proofing Language.
In the Language dialog box, deselect the Detect
language automatically check box.
Hope this helps.

It's recommended to download and install
Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office

    Did you check your user name and password in Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your email account, tap SMTP, then tap the primary server name.  Make sure the settings there are correct.

  • Why does Number's include the date and cell title when creating a formula!!

    When typing in a formula, if the 1st column has a date in it then, regardless of where on that row I begin the formula, the date and title of the column appears in the equation rather than the cell designations. What I get is this:
    ='# Shares Bought' 'Apr 4, 2009'*Share ∆ 'Apr 4, 2009'
    All I wanted was =D2*H2, but instead I got all of that. If I manually erase everything and change it to =D2*H2 it reverts back as it was as shown above.
    I tried the same thing without the date in the first column and this eliminated the problem. However, I need the date, so why does Number's insist on doing this?
    Thanks.

    And now, the envelope please. The winner is Jerry Green for his spot-on answer!
    Hey, Jerry!
    I really appreciate your response to this silly little problem. I've used a few spreads in my time, but I've never seen this before. Guess I should have checked the Prefs but didn't. Anyway, I'm good to go now.
    This still, I don't think, explains why the row without the date configured correctly. Does it??
    Again, thanks for your perfect answer.

  • Why does appserv.exe hog the CPU when all modules are stopped?

    Hi all,
    *** Problem summary ***
    Following a seemingly successful call to a session bean my Sun appserver appears to hog the machines CPU resources, but I do not know what it is doing.
    *** Problem detail ***
    I am running Sun Java System Application server 8.1 on windows xp with 1 gig of memory.
    I have happily deployed and can run a couple of sample EJB's, e.g. Converter from the J2EE tutorial and a modified/copied version that is basically a "helloworld" type session bean.
    I have now successfully built and deployed a more complex session bean that uses IBM Toolbox classes to invoke functions on an AS/400(iSeries).
    After this session bean is seemingly sucessfully invoked, the appserver seems to hog the CPU of my PC but it is not clear what it is doing.
    I see no obvious errors in the server.log file for the domain.
    I see not repetitive behaviour in the logs.
    Even when I stop all the modules in the app server, via the deploytool, the task manager still shows appsevr.exe using 60-75% of the CPU.
    ***Question ***
    How can I determine what the server is doing?
    * Note *
    My session bean requires some IBM jar files at run time. So, I have added the IBM jars to domain_dir/lib/ext, as per the Java Optional Package mechanism (http://docs.sun.com/source/819-0079/dgdeploy.html#wp69906). Perhaps this is confusing the server??
    I appreciate any and all advice and/or comment.
    Cheers,
    Simon.

    Same problem appears with Sun Java System Application Server 8.1 and 8.2.
    Does anyone knows about a solution ?
    I can't imagine that DB2 Toolbox JT400 JDBC Driver has never been used against SJSAS by SUN technicians...
    After a server stop all modules appears to be down, all session beans have been previously removed, but appserv.exe process do not shut down on Windows OS.
    I hope someone from SUN can show a suitable workaround soon, this problem is really noisy.
    Thank you in advance

  • I can't type in my ipad password because I changed the language of the keyboard, and now I'm locked out of it. What do I do?

    I accidentally set my ipad's keyboard to arabic, and my password for it has all english letters, and now I can't get into my ipad.
    What do I do?

    Have u backed up your ipad to iTunes recently? You could restore it from a backup. That would restore your ipad to a point in time that your keyboard was in English.

  • Why does iTunes keep turning itself on and how do I stop this annoying problem?

    I am using an iMac running 10.6.8 and iTunes just randomly starts.  Is there an easy fix to this?  So far my solution has been to remove iTunes from my computer and reloading it.  Same thing happens. 

    Check Dashboard to see if you have any iTunes-related widgets running. If so, close them and see if that makes a difference. Similarly, look for any third-party apps that may be related to iTunes, such as apps that copy "now playing" information to a web site.
    Another possibility is external speakers, if you have them. Another user here found that a loose speaker connection may cause random launching and playing on iTunes. Try wiggling the speaker plug and see if that causes iTunes to launch.  If so, unplugging and reconnecting the speakers may cure the problem. If not, you may have a defective speaker jack or an off-size plug on the speakers.
    Hope this helps.

  • Just purchased a office jet 6500A Plus so that I can print from my iPhone and iPad. I can print form my iPhone but my iPad 2 tells me there is no air printer available.  Why does one device recognize the air printer but the other device does not?

    Just purchased a office jet 6500A Plus so that I can print from my iPhone and iPad. I can print form my iPhone but my iPad 2 tells me there is no air printer available.  Why does one device recognize the air printer but the other device does not?

    I have the 6500A without plus and it is with a LAN cable connected with my Router.
    First make sure you have the latest printer firmware installed.
    Next restart the printer and the Router.
    I had the same. Problem but it went away after rebooting the Router.

    I found a way to fix it. Simply restart the dock by using "killall Dock" in the terminal.

  • So I have just had my potentially duff hard drive replaced and uploaded my data from time machine to discover that pages is now speaking to me in a different language. The keyboard has been selected as UK during setup. How do I get back to qwerty?

    So I have just had my potentially duff 1Tb hard drive replaced by apple and uploaded my data from time machine only to discover that pages is now speaking to me in a different language. The keyboard has been selected as UK during setup. Any idea how I can get back to qwerty?

    What exactly are you referring to?   Are the menus or templates for Pages in a different language?  Does something strange appear on the screen when you type?
    Could you perhaps use the Camera icon here to post a screenshot of what you are seeing?
    To make sure you have the right keyboard, go to system preferences/language & text/input sources and make sure that only the box for US or British is checked (and that the box for French or German or anything else is not checked).

  • Why does it say in the Firefox Safe Mode article that all of the changes are temporary while in Safe Mode, then later it says "Note: The following changes cannot be undone."?

    Why does it say in the Firefox Safe Mode article that all of the changes are temporary while in Safe Mode, then later it says "Note: The following changes cannot be undone."?

    When you open Firefox in Safe Mode, it automatically disables your custom settings, themes, and add-ons. THOSE changes are temporary.
    However, if you click any of the boxes underneath the line, "You can make some or all of these changes permanent", and then choose "Make Changes and Restart", everything you checked will be forever changed, even when you start Firefox again in 'normal' mode. [See attached image for a preview of the Safe Mode options].
    To be clear:
    1. If you check any of the boxes but do NOT select "Make changes and restart", those things will not be changed at all in safe mode.
    2. If you select any of the boxes and you DO select "Make changes and restart", you will permanently lose any of the items you checked (bookmarks (except for backups), user preferences, etc.).
    If you performed the action in step 2 above, you will only be able to restore those things if you have a previously created back-up of your Mozilla Profiles folder (not the same as the Firefox program folder).
    Hope this helps.

  • Why does illustartor CC open then crashes and i get a message saying windows don't know the prob?

    why does illustartor CC open then crashes and i get a message saying windows does not know what the problem is. everytime i open it, Now i know it works on my computer becuase i've used illustartor plenty of times on my current desktop but ever since today its been acting wierd and work so i've unistalling and reinstalling but still nothing works then i tried installing on another hardrive still did not work and i cleaned out my registryies, optimized my disk, and cleaned temp files tooo so i just do not know what went wrong and i really need help i have class assignments that i have to get done in illustartor so if anyone can help me and let me know what the problem is and what i have to do i would really apreciate it.

    Hi J,
    - Do you see an AICC splash screen? If yes then could you please let us know where exactly it crashes i.e. while loading which plugin or font?
    - Do you have any 3rd party plugins installed? Can you please remove those (do take a backup of them) and see if AI launches fine? This way you would be able to find the plugin creating the problem.
    - Did you install any OS or Ai update after which it started showing the problem?
    - Please check if you have all the Verdana family fonts installed.
    Let me know if any of these work.
    Thanks,
    Dhirendra
